Dear Sri Subeesh , A.C.

I have gone through post.

If I am not wrong, your post relates that you want:

(a) Contacts of INDIAN individuals &/Or Institutes doing research on Digital Signal Processing

(b) Research Trends (presumably global) in that area.

so that you can compile a list of Experts in the field.

As a Library professional, you can start with

  (i) Mailing list of your Institute's Annual Report & you will certainly have a good idea of Institutes &/Or Individuals.

   (ii) Search Indexing/Abstracting databases on this subject ( I expect that you might be having such materials in your Library) with pertinent key words and then add India as "limiting factor" in your search Strategy.You will get a list of references. Check it and you will easily identify the Most Productive Institutes & Most Productive Individuals.

    (iii) You can search database by the names of (a) Individuals & (b) institutes collected from your Annual Report Mailing List.

For Research Trends:

In case you are subscribing to requisite section of "Current Contents" you can easily identify (a) The Hot Areas of Research &

(b) Trend of Current Research

from the articles and their corresponding  key words.

In order to get further confirmation, you may compare the search out put of Current Contents & Bibliographic Databases. As I believe, in case you are an experienced searcher, the entire job can be completed within Three Working Days with an additional days for analysis of results.

In case you need local guidance,  you can ask Dr. S.N. Singh, PLIO at National Institute of Virology, 20A, Dr. Ambedkar Road, Pune. You can refer my name if you feel like; but I don't think that will be necessary.I feel that as a promising information professional, you are known to him.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta

Thank you very much sir

As you suggested and  the way you opened for me (Indexing/Abstracting databases and current trends) I will try my level best to extract the information. Actually I am really happy that some of you are there to help us in the vast ocean of information, where we get stranded.

Actually it was for some project related purpose, may be consultation on the practical side. The nature of the projects will not allow us to get into that much deeper level of understanding so in some way we have to work from the outside information. Anyway I have started it, and I am sure that sir, your suggestions and my efforts will lead me to the results.
